Other Mixi members can help in the process, for example with setting up record stores or recommending good songs. Sony Music Japan actually offers songs from real artists (J-pop singers) in the game.

Recotsuku is exclusively available on Mixi for the PC, but so far just over 9,000 users are using the game (after 3 days).
